Catching up...

It is so nice to have friends send you yarn, when you need a little pick me up. Denise, my lavender fields buddy, had this in her stash and knew that I was wanting and going to get some. Wasn't that incredibly sweet. How did she know that this would make my day? What a great gal!It is Knitpicks Gloss laceweight in the color Raisin. Yum! Something tells me that this yarn is going to WANT beads!I know I have been silent for a long time, but I have just been really busy and I do have pictures to show. This is my triangular loom with a shawl in progress.Here it is finish and about to be taken off.Here is a close up of the weave, color and fringe. It is definitely "Kay colors"!Now I have a shawl that I can use my copper leaf pin on.Knitting progress: I am still working on my Socks that Rock yarn. I blocking my Traveling Shawl for photography. It is drying as I blog. I am over halfway finished with my Traveling Shawl KAL in my favorite yarn, Jojoland Melody. The more I knit with this yarn the more I adore it. The colors just take your breath away and it blocks like a dream! I ordered a bag yesterday for a design idea.Traveling Shawl progress--We swept through MA, whizzed through NH and now it is in ME, soon it will be on its way to VT! 13 States down, 37 to go!
